   The nursing scholarship I was offered was 1,000 per semester. I am too old for hope. (39) and even with Pell I would be taking out loans in excess of 35,000 for tuition alone. I cannot imagine what the other costs would amount to, or where I would...

   mparker3kids replied to emde's topic in Georgia

   I have decided not to go to Piedmont. I cannot afford it. Originally, I pursued it because of the neighborhood grant program. But, I was informed that the nursing school is excluded from that program. I am going to see about North Georgia Tech &...

3. ASN w/little debt or BSN lots of debt?

   mparker3kids replied to mparker3kids's topic in Georgia

   I decided not to go to the expensive school. As much as I want to be a nurse, I need to think of the betterment of my family. An ASN isn't my dream, but it's 1 step closer, and I can do it with minimal debt.

   This is ridiculous. We are in 2014 and racism is being confused with ghetto? Where I live there are just as much white trash and Hispanics than any other race in the government housing. So, to me, the word ghetto does not indicate any type of rac...

   Thanks for that info. Great to know. Piedmont has the best 4 year average of pass rates on the nclex. That stands for something

7. ASN w/little debt or BSN lots of debt?

   mparker3kids replied to mparker3kids's topic in Georgia

   Thanks to everyone. Y'all pretty much confirmed what I already thought. I am going to check the accreditation of the ASN program. I know it's a new program, so it may not have everything I would need to pursue a bridge program. Also, I emailed th...

    I think I would have died! I think, unless you totally bombed your interview, you are definitely going to be accepted. Have fun on your trip! We should all have news when you get back :-)

    I emailed them yesterday asking when acceptance/denial letters were going to be mailed out. She said they should go out 1st of next week. So we can give the mailman a break this week. Next week though - it's on!

    I agree with kris. I think, depending on your interview, you have a good shot. Your PGA and TEAS are right in line. And, you have already been accepted to Mercer, so you know you can do it! Don't doubt yourself On another note, I had so hoped to...
